Thank you Michael for install of wordpress. Twas done really quickly and thanks also for the helping hand on the forum. Yes you did point me in the right direction.But like a fool I believed the info given by my webhosting support as to host address.
But since then I have studied your install config and have installed a second wordpress blog site myself and it went good as gold. Confidence at last (Hope it lasts!)
Thanks
Thanks Michael & samboll for quick reply, (still awaiting support at ixwebhosting).
The DB-HOST given by them was mysql8.opentransfer.com
by entering that and saving I now get as far as
http://www.wyrdwizards.com/blog/wp-admin/install.php
but then get another error message as above i.e
Error establishing a database connection
as far as typos I pasted the name password etc into the config file.
I know its a stupid mistake but where?
regards David
